Steve Jobs unveiled a whole slew of new goodies today

Where to begin, where to begin…

1. xServes updated to G5 chips, giving them something like 30 GigaFlops of processing power

2. xServe RAID updated, now supporting up to 3.5 Terabytes of storage (thats a LOT of porn– And it would probably hold quite a bit of other data, should you choose to store your Porn elsewhere)

3. Business card sized mini-iPods, in a variety of colors

4. Final Cut Express 2.0

5. updated versions of all the iApps, except iTunes. And added GarageBand to the mix, which really looks like it will be fun to play with. I’m really looking forward to some of the new features in iMovie and the expanded storage via iDvd (up to 2 hours per disc) will definitely make it easier for me to finally get around to doing something with all the footage of Kael I’ve got laying around.

All in all, a pretty good MW, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the new apps….

MacWorld Expo San Francisco starts Tuesday with Steve Jobs’ keynote speech.

For us Mac geeks, Macworld is like Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years, Kwanzaa, and our Birthday all rolled into one. It has historically been the big event where Apple announces new products, both hardware and software. In recent years though, they’ve been trying to get away from only making announcements at MW.

Some of the rumored products that are rumored to be announced Tuesday are:

G5 based Xserves in both 1U and 3U enclosures

Faster Powermac G5s

an “iBox” which is rumored to be a Apple produced set-top box (think TiVo done the Apple way, with integration into the iLife Apps)

Revised iLife Apps

“mini-pods” – smaller, cheaper iPods currently rumored to be in 1 and 4 gigabyte capacity.

I have no idea about the reliability of these rumors, I read them all on various rumor sites like: macrumors.com appleinsider.com and thinksecret.com
